Paul Slingsby and I visited four mountain lakes as part of Rocky Mountain Bird
Observatory's Barrow's Goldeneye count Sunday. Windy Gap Reservoir was frozen.
Granby Reservoir was virtually 100% open making viewing challenging because
many waterbirds were distant in choppy water. Grand Lake was mostly frozen with
only four Mallards. Shadow Mountain Reservoir was 90-95% ice making viewing in
the limited open water near the dam excellent.
Highlights:
